"The last thing I want to do is laugh, because Tristan doesn't look like a prank victim you'd tease until graduation. No, the plain black uniform dress fits him with an almost frightening rightness..."  One shared mission, two maid uniforms, and one very cramped closet — life sometimes delivers a second chance in quite unexpected "packaging" 😏

Trembling legs touch the floor. Gripping the table’s edge, the once formidable Il-Re uses his other hand to keep from falling. His fingers unclench, and Shiki exhales angrily, crumpling to the chair. It creaks with the worn tires and leather seat. That’s probably how his weakness sounds…

“You were screaming again, big bro,” Eijiro, his younger brother, says softly, thick eyebrows furrowed adorably. His chubby cheeks puff out and his dark hair looks like a tumbleweed. “Sorry about that lil man,” Katsuki says, voice scratchy. Eijiro’s cheeks puff out further. “Kat, I’m twelve years old; it’s a little insulting.”

When the narration was nearing the end, Snow said in the forest: "three dead are enough for me." At the same moment, the lines "Where they strung up a man they say murdered three" from the song "The Hanging Tree" popped up in my head. They flashed like a bright epiphany, and no longer left my mind. That's why this story was born.

My eyes are blindfolded with some cloth. My hands are fastened behind my back to something solid, presumably a chair, especially considering the position of my legs. The last thing I remember is walking home from my night shift at five in the morning. Then, emptiness. No cars, no people, nothing resurfaces in my memory, even after minutes of reflection. The room is cold, damp; it might be a basement or cellar. I can't hear anything. Absolute silence, penetrating to the bone.

He doesn’t remember when business meetings gradually began to turn into these walks that filled all his free time. He doesn't remember when the villain became a target for information, which is a big thing. Japan becomes a little warmer next to him. Hawks is ready to swear that he didn't give even a hint of hope for closeness, but he is taking the first step himself. And now, it seems, after this winter walk, the snow between them is melting in every possible way.
